To use guest additions just unarchive the file and place the iso out of the puppy directory structure and either use it by mounting the iso onto your virtual machine or create a symlink of the iso in /opt/VirtualBox/additions and use the virtualbox Devices menu. The Guest additions Iso is mainly for windows guest OS on a linux host. For puppy guest OS on windows host use the following pet package in the guest puppy OS:

I am fairly new to Linux, but I have Googled this error and haven't really come up with anything. the VBox Forums don't have anything listed either.

I installed the qt4-4.3.2 and the sdl-1.2.11 and tried with the above error. I went online and found what looks like an updated sdl library the Sdl-1.2.13-Muppy0084 so I installed that and tried again with the same error.

I have uninstalled and rebooted and reinstalled and rebooted several times - all to the same error.

I finally remembered that VirtualBox is OS. So I went and found the source code and some very nice programmer put in a comment where the permissions were checked. Making sure that the VirtualBox folder WAS ONLY writable by the Owner (i.e. root). So i went back and removed the w permissions for everyone else and sure enough - bang it works.

5. Create a VirtualBox desktop icon by dragging the /opt/VirtualBox/VirtualBox program to the desktop. Right click it to set up icon image using /opt/VirtualBox/VBox.png

6. Reboot. /etc/rc.d/rc.vboxdrv should start automatically at each boot.

7. Click the VirtualBox icon to run VirtualBox.

8. (suggested) Under "Preferences", set the VDI folder to point to physical hard disk /mnt/home to allow more disk space for the larger vdi files.Last edited by timothyli on Sat 10 Oct 2009, 20:08; edited 1 time in total
